As Dr. Rita Dhamoon writes, racism is a workload issue. So, when do we sit down and when do we fight back? And how do we keep fighting in the face of such intractible systemic hostility? In this episode of Academic Aunties, we talk to https://www.debthompsonphd.com/ (Dr. Debra Thompson) (Associate Professor of Political Science and Canada Research Chair in Racial Inequality in Democratic Societies at McGill University) about the necessity of the fight, the value of stealing your time back, how creating subversives can drive change, and the importance of armour to survive the neoliberal academy. \r\nFollow us on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/AcademicAuntie (@AcademicAuntie).\r\nMentioned in this Episode and Related Resources:\r\n\r\n https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-abolition-of-white-democracy (The Abolition of White Democracy) by Joel Olson\r\n https://www.akpress.org/the-undercommons.html (The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study) by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney\r\n https://socialiststudies.com/index.php/sss/article/view/27273 (Racism as a Workload and Bargaining Issue) by Rita Dhamoon article\r\n https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6wjxc (Socioeconomic Roots of Academic Faculty) by Allison Morgan, Aaron Clauset, Daniel Larremore, Nicholas LaBerge and Mirta Galesic\r\n \"CPSA\" = Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference\r\n \"REP\" = Race, Ethnicity and Politcs\r\n\r\nTranscript\r\nVisit https://www.academicaunties.com (academicaunties.com) for more information.
